To find the additive inverse of a number, we need to change its sign.

First, let's find the additive inverse of -24 4/5.

The additive inverse of -24 is 24, and the additive inverse of 4/5 is -4/5.

So, the additive inverse of -24 4/5 is 24 4/5.

Now, we add the additive inverse to -6 7/10.

-6 7/10 + 24 4/5
= -6 + 24 + 7/10 + 4/5
= 18 + 7/10 + 4/5
= 18 + 35/50 + 40/50
= 18 + 75/50
= 18 + 1 25/50
= 18 + 1/2
= 18 1/2

Therefore, the answer is 18 1/2.

So, the correct response is:

31 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction

To find the distance between two numbers on a number line, we take the absolute value of their difference.

The absolute value of the difference between 6.5 and -7.2 is |6.5 - (-7.2)|.

|6.5 - (-7.2)| = |6.5 + 7.2| = |13.7|.

The absolute value of 13.7 is 13.7.

Thus, the distance between 6.5 and -7.2 on the number line is 13.7.

Therefore, the correct response is:

13.7

To solve the given mathematical problem, we need to follow the order of operations - parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division (from left to right), and addition/subtraction (from left to right).

First, let's calculate the absolute value of 2-3, which is |2-3| = |-1| = 1.

Now, let's substitute this value back into the original expression:

21 ÷ 3 + 4 + 1

Next, let's perform the division:

7 + 4 + 1

Finally, let's add the numbers together:

7 + 4 + 1 = 12

Therefore, the correct response is:

12

To solve the given mathematical problem, we need to calculate the absolute value of each expression and then add them together.

First, let's calculate the absolute value of (1/2)(-8):

|(1/2)(-8)| = |(-4)| = 4

Next, let's calculate the absolute value of 10-4:

|10-4| = |6| = 6

Now, let's substitute these values back into the original expression:

4 + 6

Finally, let's add the numbers together:

4 + 6 = 10

Therefore, the correct response is:

10
